Rundfunkbeitragsbefreiung: ineffizient, anreizfeindlich und ungerecht
In Germany, recipients of social assistance transfers and of long term unemployment benefits (Arbeitslosengeld II) are exempted from paying contributions to public service broadcasting. But this exemption brings about allocative inefficiencies by creating negative incentives for the recipients to avoid or to reduce the need for help and by causing needless administrative efforts. Furthermore, the exemption from payment of contributions is questionable with regard to distributional goals. It would therefore be better to raise benefits by the amount of the contribution to public service broadcasting and to cancel the exemption. Copyright ZBW and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014
